Pretty sure it means we'll have to pay for episodes. Items can be cosmetics, but it can also be keys or an item that unlocks episodes, too.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I'm not sure why anybody expected otherwise. I'm late to the discourse, though; were folks anticipating payment mechanics of another sort?
Nah, not that I know of. But this seems much smaller in terms of what the game plan is. I mean, it's pretty clearly chapter based lol.
But how is an episodic game free if you have to pay for the episodes?
The container app consisting of the intro cinematic, the purchase menu, and links to other easy to purchase FFVII-related merchandise will be absolutely FREE!
They'll probably give us one free episode.
So the first episode is a demo basically
I'd much rather pay per episode (meaning there'd eventually be a set, specific MSRP to buy the whole game, just like any retail game) than have a game with a shitty fucking gacha pay-or-grind economy.
The term they use, アイテム課金制（基本プレイ無, basically Microtransaction (Free To Play).
I checked their FFXV Pocket Edition and that says 1st chapter is free, while listing how much the subsequent chapter costs.
I'm expecting this to be gatcha now.

I haven't follow this much and while I like the idea behind it and how it it presented, I am as confused as exited.
I do not understand why Aerith is fighting in your party against the Scorpion but here we are.

Yeah we will be rolling for something, probably material. Given that it's one episode per month, they'll definitely have some kind of repetitive content to keep people occupied throughout the month.
I hope I'm wrong but i think the game will not let us explore or control the characters outside of battles.
As someone who's said both of these before
I get concerned when a game is announced for mobile/mobile first since I worry it's gonna be a grindy, gatcha nightmare game.
If it's not, then it's perfect for switch since you have access to both buttons and touch screen.
Yeah, that was my immediate thought as well. People who expect this to be close to a 1:1 remake is gonna be disappointed, again lol.
I never thought of that, and I think it is a possibility for real.. because no way they are remaking the whole FFVII saga with explorations areas and dungeons.
I hadn't thought of this until now but it's almost certainly true.
Makes it a much more mobile friendly experience and obviously also makes development of so much content a lot more plausible.
I guess this is exists mainly as a way to experience the "full story", not the game.
to be fair. mobile has so many crappy games with gotcha or pay to win mechanics.
And every time it gets something that "should be on consoles" people just can't shut up about it.
There are enough games without shitty gacha etc. on mobile and some also have controller support.
Seemingly it is fine to shit on a platform and port beg its games when the platform is hated by most of the people here.
Sadly, that is true for every niche platform.
If people went into Switch game threads and whined about a "game on weak hardware" (to be fair, Switch is weaker) or Playstation threads and cried about "how this won't be on a Game Pass like service" (to be fair, Sony does not have a service like Game Pass), it would probably be handled differently.
mobile is not a niche platform.
isnt it the biggest platform actually?
I think you'll be able to, the first shot with Cloud running across the T-shaped intersection has Cloud move at angles that'd look way too unnatural for a cutscene (if it didn't cut away, he'd run straight into a railing).
Of course I VERY much doubt there'll be much to it. We won't be exploring nooks and crannies, doing sidequests, or travelling over a 3D world map, I imagine.
What would be awesome is if they saw the reaction and were like "oh wait people would pay actual money for this as a full visual overhaul remake". Unlikely, but hey, it's scheduled for 2022.
I meant niche for the people frequenting this forum. That's why people feel entitled to this game, even though there actually is already a FF 7 remake.
well this seems to be a remake that actually may get finished. the other one will probably have 20 parts and the last one will release on PS 9 in 2099
Expected I guess. I think I'm more disappointed that this is coming out in 2022.
My guess is some kind of extra mode that lets you fight bosses again with any characters.
